One Room Challenge Week 2: Powder Room

Paint, paint, paint! That was the name of the game this past week! Like I mentioned in last week’s post, we had a lot of painting to do in this bathroom. Even though it is a small bath, all the oak woodwork takes four coats to fully cover.

You may notice that I made a game time decision to switch the light gray I had planned with a blue. After receiving the fabric sample from Tonic Living, I realized that it didn’t really work with the grays I was thinking about (Benjamin Moore’s Balboa Mist or Classic Gray). So I pulled out my favorite Farrow & Ball paint swatch book, and selected a bluish gray and had it matched by our local Benjamin Moore in zero VOC paint (see my exact favorites here in my free E-Book.)

We still have a busy several weeks ahead of us, so make sure to keep up with our progress and follow me on Instagram!
